Descriptions

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.16.0 does not validate one of its shortcode attribute, which could allow users with a contributor role and above to include arbitrary files via a traversal attack. This could also allow them to read non PHP files and retrieve their content. RCE could also be achieved if the attacker manage to upload a malicious image containing PHP code, and then include it via the affected attribute, on a default WP install, authors could easily achieve that given that they have the upload_file capability.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in versions up to, and including, 5.15.0 via a shortcode attribute. This allows subscriber-level attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
